All group‐based latin squares possess near transversals

Abstract: In a latin square of order n, a near transversal is a collection of n −1 cells which intersects each row, column, and symbol class at most once. A longstanding conjecture of Brualdi, Ryser, and Stein asserts that every latin square possesses a near transversal. We show that this conjecture is true for every latin square that is main class equivalent to the Cayley table of a finite group.

“…The following conjecture has been attributed to Brualdi (see [11, p. 103]) and Stein [25] and, in [13], to Ryser. It has recently been proved for Cayley tables of finite groups [17]. For several generalisations of the conjecture in terms of hypergraphs, see [1] (although some of those generalisations have since been shown to fail [16]).…”
